To install the USB to LPT adapter and make it work, there is a high probability that Windows driver itself will suffice. However, you need to select the printer’s properties to have it use the USB to LPT adapter port in order for your printer to work. This tip should work in Windows XP and Vista.
- Plug the cable into the USB port on your computer.
- A prompt that says “Found New Hardware” will appear. Windows will then install the USB printing support driver automatically. You do not need to install the driver from the CD.
- Plug the cable into the printer.
- If your printer is already installed, click on Start, then Printers & Faxes. Right click on the printer you are connecting to and click on Properties. Click on the Ports tab and check the Virtual printer port for USB with the printer name of your choice beside it . Click OK.
- You should now be able to print.
Quake 2 Port

The Quake II GWT port brings the 3d gaming experience of Quake II to the browser.
In the port, we use WebGL, the Canvas API, HTML 5 elements, the local storage API, and WebSockets to demonstrate the possibilities of pure web applications in modern browsers such as Safari and Chrome.
The port is based on the Jake2 project, compiled to Javascript using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Jake 2 is a Java port of the original Quake II source code, which was open sourced by id software.
To make the Jake 2 code work with GWT, they have
- Created a new WebGL based renderer
- Ported the network layer for multiplayer games from UDP to the WebSocket API
- Made all resource loading calls asynchronous
- Created a GWT implementation of Java nio buffers based on WebGL arrays (to be ported to ECMAScript Typed Arrays)
- Implemented a simple file system emulation for saving games and preferences using the Web Storage API
You can get more information about this port in Google Code’s Quake II GWT Port at http://code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port.

By default, Remote Desktop’s port is set to 3389. If you wish to change it to some other port for whatever reason you have, you can do so with the easiest way changing the registry value using a Windows program called RegEdit which modifies registry name=pair values.
Follow these steps.
- click START > RUN > type regedit and the regedit program opens up.
- navigate to each key starting from
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- System
- CurrentControlSet
- Control
- TerminalServer
- WinStations
- RDP-Tcp
- PortNumber
- double click the PortNumber key, and choose the decimal radio button to reveal the value set by default as 3389.
- change to whatever port number you wish
When connecting remotely using the Remote Desktop Client with the changed port, you can just add a colon + the port number after the domain or IP address.
e.g. 192.168.8.XXX:1234
The client connets to the IP address 192.168.8.XXX with port number 1234.
